Hijinks British penny dreadful cover
Hijinks penny dreadful cover, Handsome Harry of the Fighting Belvedere No. 11, 1876, anonymous (E. Harcourt Burrage). Reprinted from a serial in The Boy's Standard (1875). Shipmate Ching-Ching somewhat breaks Asian stereotype as he is neither pirate nor cook (in fact he does not work). He was popular enough to spawn several other magazines: Cheerful Ching-Ching (1877), Ching-Ching's Own (1888) and Ching-Ching Yarns (1893).
